Abstract

The Prevalence of information and its magnitude mandates a short description of the core of a document, an article, or legal documents. Abstractive summarization helps to concur with this problem utilizing the evolutions in machine learning and deep neural network. Attention-mechanism has extensively applied in the challenging issue of abstraction a text, in shorter length yet informative. We noticed in [13] after removing the attention layer from their proposed model, the performance only experience soft drawback, even can be ignored. Thus, motivates us to survey the latest models using attention-mechanism and its achievements, and the second objective is to run an experiment to compare standard stacked 3- Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) layers incorporated with attention layer only (without any other hand-crafted algorithm) to explore how efficient this technique can generate better summarization, then a stand-alone model. The standard proposed model incorporated with attention-mechanism suffered from drawback performance and scored less than a stand-alone model by at least 6 point scores on ROUGE-1&2.
